The “corruption scandal” Ukraine story is being pushed by the United States to help Russia, the objective is to pressure Zelenskyy into surrendering; ultimately Trump and his criminals have negotiated lucrative land deals with Russia and want to grab Ukrainian territory too.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

Oh and I don't suppose the fact that Hernandez employed MS-13 to move drugs, and the fact that Trump dropped charges against MS-13 leaders to send them back to Bukele in El Salvador who had secretly worked with them is also a total coincidence. I'm sure it's nothing.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

This is disgusting.
Hegseth called one chapter in his 2024 book, “The Laws Of War, For Winners.”

He wrote: “Our boys should not fight by rules written by dignified men in mahogany rooms eighty years ago.”

(He also fantasized about treating Americans like overseas combatants.)

Bingo.
A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).

Wall Street Journal:

"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

The Orban playbook: use the regulatory powers of the state to ensure media is owned by your allies who turn it into propaganda for the regime.

Here’s Trump intervening to help his ally Ellison’s bid for Warner Bros (and CNN).

I worry more about the data than anything, honestly. They almost certainly aren’t managing it properly. It’s only a matter of time before it’s all compromised.

Part of the answer is Roger Stone. But that’s surely not the whole answer.
There will be a Pulitzer prize for the journalist who can reveal the details of how this pardon happened.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
